I posted on Travel last week; although I think I had your sn with a "r" in there, sorry!, but how was Chicago? I'm curious to hear what you did.
Re: *Clevebride*
Hey HZ- I?m not on the Travel board as often as I used to be? We had a great time! It was a whirlwind weekend since we did Chicago in 2 days.
We left Cincinnati around 6:15am EST and got into Chicago around 11:30am CST. We stayed at the Sax Chicago (on Dearborn)- we loved the boutique hotel! From there, we walked to Portillo?s. Our group (4 of us) got Chicago-style hot dogs, and I got the Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers. Holy moly- I don?t normally like/eat beef, but my beef sandwich was so delicious! From there, we walked to Michigan Avenue and proceeded to shop til 8pm. We were exhausted! We also visited Millennium Park/The Bean/Pritzker Auditorium, and the Fountains. It was a lot of fun. We went back to the hotel, changed into different clothes, and headed to Chinatown for a bit. Shopped, looked at shops, and had an eggroll to go from Three Happiness. For dinner, we went to Gino?s East at Ontario/Wells. It was closer to 8:30pm and there was a line outside! Luckily, it moved pretty quickly. Pizza was great. We didn?t get back to the hotel until 10:30pm CST? We were tired.
Then Sunday, we went to the Westin in Rosemont to go to the Vampire Diaries Convention. We went to a few Q&A panels and then left to go have lunch back in the city- Maddie picked Rainforest Caf? since she?d never been there (most of us had been in other cities). It was fun, but definitely reminded me why I didn?t like it the first time I tried it in Vegas. Definitely better restaurants out there! We went back to the Convention and stayed for a few more hours, then headed to Garrett?s popcorn (it was a must for me), and then back to Cincinnati. It was definitely a whirlwind weekend, and wished we could have stayed an extra night, but it was still a great trip.
We wanted to go visit the Sears/Willis Tower but just ran out of time/exhausted. I wanted to take them to eat dim sum in Chinatown, but 1) we had to be at the Convention early, and 2) my friends aren?t adventurous eaters L Bummer! Next time, they also want to go on the water taxi tour. There was just so much we wished we could have done but ran out of time.
Nice! That sounds like a good trip! How was the weather?!
Portillo's italian beef with hot peppers and cheese is my guilty pleasure! I'm glad you had fun

Chicago is one of my favorite cities. I'm glad you made it to Gino's East and Chinatown, but that's too bad that you had to spend a meal at the Rainforest Cafe
You'll just have to go back again and do some of the stuff you missed!
Your post makes me want to plan a trip to Chicago!
